We will always be grateful for Steve's friendship and support and will cherish the memories of the good times shared together at Lake Wabaunsee and dancing to the Bop Daddies. Steve had such a big personality and an amazing sense of humor. He was larger than life, and will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear of Steve's passing. I was in high school with Paula but most of the girlfriends had a secret crush on her older brother Steve. I have nothing but great memories of him and of the Bogart family.
